How it Begins:

He did not really have a career. More a series of jobs, which took him to different experiences and outlooks, and that is how he sold the situation to himself. Simon Baxter was one of those people who, armed with a clean shirt, could enter any room or salon and be taken as an equal until someone asked him what he did.

Can anything happen, planned or unplanned, which will change his life ?
